The stunning removal of Rep. Kevin McCarthy as speaker has left the House effectively paralyzed.
The name of Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., remains on the sign at the entrance of the offices of the Speaker of the House on Capitol Hill, Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2023 in Washington, one day after he was ousted from the Speaker's position. left the House effectively paralyzed Wednesday as Republicans struggled to bring order to their fractured majority and begin the difficult — and potentially prolonged — process of uniting around a new leader.
The path ahead is deeply uncertain. Many doubt that any of the candidates can get the 218 votes needed to secure the gavel, with each having their own faction of support and share of detractors. Voting for McCarthy in January took 15 excruciating rounds even though he was the consensus choice of the conference.
Electing a new speaker risks inflaming the divisions that have plagued House Republicans all year, particularly if lawmakers make new demands before pledging support. “This next chapter won’t be easy, but I know what it takes to fight and I am prepared for the battles that lie ahead,” he wrote. Speaking to reporters at a New York courthouse Wednesday, Trump said he’ll “do whatever it is to help” Republicans in the speakership race, but said he is focused “totally” on his campaign to return to the White House.
The raw feelings were apparent at a closed-door meeting of Republicans on Tuesday evening where members unloaded their anger at the eight Republicans who joined with Democrats to depose their speaker.
